 We bought this. 

The Shakin' Pyramids were a Scottish rockabilly trio, part of the rockabilly revival of the late 1970's and early 1980's.

Skin 'Em Up by The Shakin' Pyramids was originally released on Virgin Records in 1981. There are some very good tracks on this album but the playing time of the album is not very long; about 24 minutes total playing time.
